The usenet alt.* address set was actually for Anarchists, Lunatics and Terrorists.

No, that was just a dumb joke: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt.*_hierarchy

Curiously, when I learned of it it was a dumb joke that was the actual name of the alt. hierarchy, and I was corrected when I initially assumed it meant alternative.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but there are enough people who believe the joke that I can't assume it's just a joke. And Wikipedia used to say differently than it does today.
